Chapter 61
: Luc Taylor’s Self–Concern However, he was powerless to solve Emma’s drooling problem! He wanted to grab a tissue to wipe away the thread of saliva from the corner of her mouth, but he felt it would be disrespectful. After pondering for a moment, he shut his captivating eyes, refraining from unnecessary actions
Just then, a middle aged woman in the row ahead got up to go to the restroom. Noticing their predicament, she smiled gently and kindly reminded, “Sir, your wife seems to be sleeping quite soundly, even drooling. Aren’t you going to help her wipe it off?”
Hearing these words, George’s handsome face instantly turned a light shade of red, a touch of embarrassment apparent. Wife?
Just as he wanted to explain, the middle–aged woman left. George opened his mouth but didn’t utter a word. He took out a tissue and stretched it toward. the corner of Emma’s mouth, only to halt mid–motion, his hand hanging in the air. Seeing the woman returning, he quickly, albeit still gently, wiped off the drool from Emma’s mouth. Observing her cute, peaceful state, he shook his head and sighed internally–his heart was big!
The middle–aged woman, back from the restroom, gave him a significant smile and said, “Sir, you and your wife truly are a perfect match! One is beautiful, the other handsome Your future children will surely be gorgeous!”
George’s eyes flickered with embarrassment as his blush deepened. Just as he was about to explain, the woman had already taken her seat, leaving him to stare at the back of her head.
George thought, “Never mind. Given the circumstances, it seems redundant to explain. Thankfully, she is fast asleep and remains unaware
Emma’s father received a message from Emma and, brimming with joy, announced to his wife, Emma is coming back!”
“Eh? Emma’s returning? When? We don’t have much food at home!” Catherine, washing dishes in the kitchen, removed her rubber gloves and wiped the water stems from her hands as she headed toward the living room.
Emma’s father smiled. “She should be home by tonight. Once you finish your work, let’s go out and get some groceries, I’m sure the food quality where she was must not have been great, we should ensure she gets proper nutrition”
Lisa, in her office, had just received Emma’s reply. Little Emma was coming back, that was delightful. But the rumors from the hospital aren’t true, right? Emma mentioned a friend of Luc would pick her up at the airport.
But why would he do that? This person must be very important to Luc. Otherwise, he could have simply arranged for a driver. Why did he have to go personally? Don’t they know they should maintain a proper distance between genders?
Once Emma comes back, Lisa must remind her to keep a close eye on Luc and not let any other woman sneak in
Beneth heard that the medical aid team for the western region would arrive tonight at Boston International Airport. He thought to remind Luc, wondering Dr. Taylor would be at the airport to greet Dr. Johnson. But he hesitated, thinking it might be meddling, it was a matter between husband and wife, why should he worry?
Still, he could send a subtle hint by delivering a bonsai that Gabriel had entrusted him to look after to Dr. Taylor’s office. He made an exaggerated fuss during the process. As expected, Luc Taylor emerged from his office with a stern expression. “Beneth, what are you doing? Making such a loud noise?” Beneth apologized in embarrassment, “Dr. Taylor, I’m sorry. This is Gabriel’s bonsai. He’s returning today, and I planned to move the plants he entrusted to
A glint flashed in his eyes as he made the situation clear. Dr. Taylor should understand that Dr. Johnson was coming back today.
The medical team from the West is returning today? Emma is coming to Boston today?
Upon hearing this, something seemed to glimmer in the corners of Luc’s eyes. His heartbeat sped up erratically. When he thought that her return meant it was time to process their divorce his heart sank suddenly. The fleeting joy in his eyes cooled instantly, a gloomy darkness shadowing them. A faint smirk lingered on his lips as he returned to his office, closing the door weakly and leaning back in his chair,
Beneth thought, “What was Dr Taylor amplying? His reaction was a mix of slight joy at Dr. Johnson’s return to Boston, but why the sudden indifference? Well, I’ve relayed the news. Whether you go to pick her up or not is now up to you.”
Sigh. Beneth exhaled deeply As an assistant, he had taken over the role of preparing meals for Dr. Taylor from Dr. Johnson. This change was quite
Lindsey sent him an bustagram message, “Luc, what kind of gift does your grandmother like? Jane suggested that I should visit her sometime soon.”
e message but didnt reply on instagram. Instead, he opened Twitter and searched for past news titled “The Most Beautiful Medical Messenger” He found a few bright and cheerful pictures of Emma and kept looking at them over and over again
Munnaning to himself. “Are you going to divorce me? Why can’t you behave a little? it’s been almost two months since you were away; have you thought of
Why didst you send me a single instagram message? Not even one phone call? Why can’t you be like Lindsey, who is loved by my family?“)
was left for fun was silence and the radiant, beautiful smiles on the screen
udedness was interrupted by a voice message from Lindsey. He adjusted his expression and answered the video call. An exquisite face appeared on his mobile screen, Luc, didn’t you see the Instagram I sent you?”
<Chapter
Her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she asked with a hint of annoyance.
“Lindsey, I was busy just now and didn’t see your Instagram.”
Really? Then why, even through the phone screen, can one see a trace of melancholy on your face? Did you have an unpleasant conversation with
someone? Or is it just work–related troubles?
Although Lindsey was sensitive, she never showed her dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she laughed softly and affectionately, “I thought you didn’t want me to visit your grandmother?”
“How could that be? Lindsey, don’t overthink it,” Luc replied with a light chuckle.
Grandma likes to drink oat porridge, but…”
Old Mrs. Taylor indeed enjoyed nourishing diets, but what she appreciated more was the respect and sincerity shown by others, not superficial gestures. Having lived for over seventy years, what kind of storms hadn’t she seen? As she aged, she cared more about sincerity between people. The reason she accepted Emma as her future granddaughter–in–law was that she saw Emma’s pure and sincere nature, especially her genuine love for her grandson, a love untainted by material things.
Lindsey was a bit anxious on the other end, urging. “But what? Luc, please tell me?”
Luc pursed his lips, knowing this made it difficult for Lindsey. For Grandma to develop a liking for Lindsey, he said, “She prefers whoever brings her the porridge to prepare it personally, not rely on others.”
Isn’t Emma praised for her cooking skills? So, Grandma allowed him to marry her. Since he had chosen Lindsey in his heart, if he wanted Grandma to accept her, he must adopt the same approach. Those things that money could buy were never going to win Grandma’s heart.
